Billy Wagner Will Return After The Weekend Series

Yesterday, during his regular weekly spot on ESPN Radio 1050, Billy Wagner said the following,

“I feel good and I am ready to go. I can’t wait to join my teammates and contribute.”

He also added…

“I know what my job is and I know what I’m best suited to do, but we’re trying to get into the playoffs and I want Jerry to know I will pitch in any role necessary even if it means not being the closer.”

Hey… I’m just saying…
